LINEAGE INVESTOR ALERT: Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP Files Class Action Lawsuit Against Lineage, Inc. and Announces Opportunity for Investors with Substantial Losses to Lead Investor Class Action Lawsuit
SAN DIEGO, Aug. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that purchasers of Lineage, Inc. (NASDAQ: LINE) common stock in or traceable to the registration statement used in connection with Lineage's July 2024 initial public offering (the 'IPO'), have until September 30, 2025 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the Lineage class action lawsuit. Captioned City of St. Clair Shores Police and Fire Retirement System v. Lineage, Inc. , No. 25-cv-12383 (E.D. Mich.), the Lineage class action lawsuit charges Lineage as well as certain of its top executives, directors, IPO underwriters, and IPO sponsor with violations of the Securities Act of 1933. If you suffered substantial losses and wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the Lineage class action lawsuit, please provide your information here: You can also contact attorneys J.C. Sanchez or Jennifer N. Caringal of Robbins Geller by calling 800/449-4900 or via e-mail at [email protected]. CASE ALLEGATIONS: Lineage is a Maryland REIT focused on temperature-controlled cold-storage facilities. In the July 2024 IPO, Lineage sold over 65 million shares of Lineage common stock to investors at $78 per share, raising more than $5 billion in gross offering proceeds. The Lineage class action lawsuit alleges that the registration statement was false and/or misleading and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Lineage was then experiencing sustained weakening in customer demand, as additional cold-storage supply had come on line, Lineage's customers destocked a glut of excessive inventory built up during the COVID-19 pandemic, and Lineage's customers shifted to maintaining leaner cold-storage inventories on a go-forward basis in response to changed consumer trends; (ii) Lineage had implemented price increases in the lead-up to the IPO that could not be sustained in light of the weakening demand environment facing Lineage; (iii) Lineage was unable to effectively counteract the adverse trends listed above through the use of minimum storage guarantees or as a result of operational efficiencies, technological improvements, or its purported competitive advantages; (iv) as a result, rather than enjoying stable revenue growth, high occupancy rates, and steady rent escalation as represented in the registration statement, Lineage was in fact suffering from stagnant or falling revenue, occupancy rates, and rent prices; and (v) consequently, Lineage's financial results, business operations, and prospects were materially impaired. Since the IPO, the price of Lineage stock has fallen to lows near $40 per share. The price of Lineage stock has remained substantially below the IPO price at the time of the filing of the complaint. The plaintiff is represented by Robbins Geller, which has extensive experience in prosecuting investor class actions including actions involving financial fraud. You can view a copy of the complaint by clicking here. THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased Lineage common stock in or traceable to the registration statement issued in connection with Lineage's IPO to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Lineage class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Lineage class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Lineage class action lawsuit. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Lineage class action lawsuit.

Should You Buy a 2026 Nissan Rogue or Grab a Discounted 2025?
The Rogue is one of Nissan's best-selling vehicles in the US, playing a crucial role in the struggling automaker's lineup. In a segment that's growing more competitive, especially with the fully revamped 2026 Toyota RAV4 and Mazda CX-5 arriving, Nissan's update is surprisingly restrained. Following the 2024 facelift, changes are minimal: a small price adjustment, a new trim level, and some added tech features. The 2026 lineup sees a $200 increase across most trims, while the Platinum AWD gets a rare $1,000 price cut. For buyers deciding between the outgoing 2025 stock and incoming 2026 models, the updates are subtle enough to make a discounted 2025 unit appealing-especially with many dealers clearing inventory at aggressive prices. For 2025, the Rogue starts at $28,590 for the S FWD and reaches $39,990 for the Platinum AWD before destination charges. Trims like the SV AWD list for $30,990, while the off-road-styled Rock Creek AWD is priced at $33,490. Nationwide listings on show substantial markdowns, particularly on SV and SL grades, with savings often in the $2,000-$4,000 range depending on location and dealer incentives. The powertrain remains identical between 2025 and 2026 – a 1.5-liter VC-Turbo 3-cylinder producing 201 horsepower and 225 lb-ft, paired with Nissan's Xtronic CVT – so there's no performance loss in choosing a 2025. For value-focused buyers, these discounts may outweigh the modest updates in the next model year. Opting for a 2025 Rogue means skipping several 2026 updates. The new Dark Armor trim joins the lineup, positioned between the SV and SL. It brings blacked-out exterior accents, satin black roof rails, 19-inch gloss black wheels, and SV-based equipment that includes heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, panoramic moonroof, and Nissan's HD Intelligent Around View Monitor. It will be offered in both FWD and AWD, though pricing has yet to be confirmed. Tech upgrades are also part of the 2026 package. All models gain Google Built-In, integrating Google Maps, Assistant, and Play into the 12.3-inch touchscreen. The Platinum AWD now offers ProPilot 2.1, Nissan's latest semi-autonomous system that enables limited hands-free driving on single-lane freeways. However, if you want something truly groundbreaking, you will need to wait further for Nissan's upcoming electrified option. The Rogue e-Power is confirmed for the US but won't arrive until the brand's 2026 fiscal year, likely as a 2027 model. Choosing a 2025 Rogue means sticking with the gasoline-only setup, even as competitors like the RAV4 move to all-hybrid lineups. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
